Here is a picture that Clarissa colored. She has been coloring a lot lately.
In the evening we went and saw the play, “Tuck Everlasting” because our friend Olivia was in it. I was so touched by the play, and it was exactly what my soul needed. It was funny, whimsical and very profound. Here is my favorite line (not verbatim) from it:
Don’t be afraid of death. Be afraid Of not truly living. You don’t need to live forever. You just need to really live.
The play affected Lydia and we talked about death afterwards. She is a deep thinker.
Lily and I went to bed feeling grateful for our lives, and talking about times when we have felt truly alive. We’ve realized this blog has captured so much of the “truly living” we feel like we’ve done. Family, travel, connection, home routines and comforts, cute things the kids say, our romance, nature, family and friend relationships have all made our life so rich. We feel so blessed.
